Osprey. Just emerging from a dive into the ocean. This bird often catches fish by diving with its wings half closed and claws stretched forward, disappearing under the water in a great spray
carries its catch headfirst in flight, usually using both feet to hold the fish. Builds a nest that is an immense mass of dried branches, interwoven with materials such as stakes, rope, strips of old cloth, plastic, and even caribou antlers. They can live for 15 to 20 years, and one individual was known to survive to age 35. IMG_8997
